Lulu James is also announced for this year's Beach Break Live, the 21year old is on the brink of releasing her first album and is definitely a name to remember, offering vocals well beyond her years the soulful singer is set for success with her boundary-defying electronic melodic sounds. Another bright young spark also announced today, Charlotte O'Conner, who is set to release her first single, Addicted, in May, offers up a refreshing take on the acoustic folk sound. 

Levi Roots is joining the pumping Beach Break Live line-up for 2012, hot hot hot is the only sauce that Levi will be bringing to the festival for 2012. Eats Everything aka, Bristonlian Daniel Pearce will be returning close to home this summer as he joins the outdoor Ghettoblaster stage. In a matter of months he has defined a whole new genre of forward-thinking underground house music that draws elements from classic house, UK bass music, Detroit techno, jungle and early rave, Beach Break Live dance fans are in for a treat this year!

A host of DJs is set to join the likes of Dutty Dan, dubstep hero Phaeleh and BBC Radio 1 DJs Andy George & Jaymo, who are famed for their globally recognised night Moda and impressing DJ dynasties such as Kissy Sell Out. In a tough year for UK festivals, many UK festivals are thriving and Beach Break Live is at the forefront.
